Patients have a right to know if their health professional asks them to ingest a hazardous or dangerous medical product. Their assumption that a drug is relatively safe is presumptively reasonable. If a drug isn’t safe, the maker of the drug has a legal responsibility to notify the prescribing health care professional and explaining the inherent risks of the medication. Sadly, however, that doesn’t always take place.
In the case of NuvaRing, a widely prescribed hormonal contraceptive, a shocking number of patients never received appropriate warnings about the risks of this drug. As a result, they experienced vaginal infections and, in some cases, serious and potentially fatal conditions such as blood clots, heart attack, stroke, and high blood pressure. This simply wasn’t right; and in some cases, the drug maker is legal responsible for the effects.
